Mathematics for the interested outsider

Nothing today

I was getting orientated for most of today, and I think some of the grad students and I are going to hit the Vieux Carré before the undergrads start showing up en masse tomorrow, so I just don’t have it in me to post the next bit today.

But I’ve been thinking about it. I’ll also have to check up on some of my references to see if they can tell me how to do what I’m pretty sure can be done, or I’ll just have to cobble it together myself. But it’s pretty cool. I’ll give you one hint: look how I started my discussions of adjoint functors.

For now, go read the Carnival. Yes, I’ll give it a fair shot while the semester begins and see if it picks up as predicted.

About this weblog

This is mainly an expository blath, with occasional high-level excursions, humorous observations, rants, and musings. The main-line exposition should be accessible to the “Generally Interested Lay Audience”, as long as you trace the links back towards the basics. Check the sidebar for specific topics (under “Categories”).

I’m in the process of tweaking some aspects of the site to make it easier to refer back to older topics, so try to make the best of it for now.
